This is great! I'm sitting here in my "tech room" with all 4 programs in hand for today betting through my Suncoast phone account while I'm logged on to the Balmoral video stream. I can still jump over to DAK and see what's being posted. How much better can life get?

Hey new jersey whats wrong with Hansen and Anderson coming back, that's there business. I am a racing fan but this site is nothing but a hate site for people who don't have anything to do but have hate in there blood.

That's pretty sad when you think about this, how people wake up each morning to write hated and gossip every morning,there are better things to worry about in this world then someone else's business.

I don't know this Hansen or Anderson, but from what i read all this *** guy said in starting this thread was it was a new year and best of luck to both people.

That's right. I feel this way. They both served their time and now they should be welcomed back. Unlike Rucker who gets a 6 month suspension and is serving no time. If Rucker were to serve his time like everyone else does I would welcome him back too. I don't hate any horseman because I was one for 25 years. I just want things to be fare for everyone.

rucker dont need to serve time dan he didnt do anything it was proven that he didnt there was a contamination of something he was useing so u have no clue what the f*** u talking about so shut the hell up! rucker is the best horse trainer in the country and he will win medowlands title again and THAT IS A FACT! and thats how i roll suckkkkker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all idiot. NOTHING was proven yet. Second, I'm not going to argue with you because it's obvious you don't know anything about the IRB rules concerning " trainer responsibility ". I don't care if you went into Rucker's barn and contaminated it with Gout medication because the IRB rule book states that it's the trainers responsibility to guard his horses. And for that reason the 6 month suspension handed down by the stewards is warranted under the trainer responsibility rule. So, sit back and wait until the IRB rules on Ruckers appeal then run your fat *** mouth. Don't come on this site and make the statement that it has already been proven that Rucker wasn't responsible when that hasn't been determined yet by the IRB.

Those horses that had the positives all won but one and then the next start couldn't go forward. Flame can't even get a check since the Gout positive so I don't give a damn if they classify Gout medication a class 15 drug. The fact remains it helped those horses win those races and Rucker is responsible for the drug being in the horses system no matter how it got there because he's the trainer.

When my former groom Rob Rigola painted benzocaine on one of my horses legs back in 1983 and the horse came up positive I was responsible even though Rob went to the stewards and told them he did it behind my back. I still got fined $500 and was given a 10 day suspension for " trainers responsibility ". Rob got 6 months and then appealed it to the IRB and they turned around and upped his suspension to 1 year.

You're just a clown who doesn't understand a thing. I have nothing against Rucker personally but I feel he should be treated like the rest of the trainers who sat out their time. Don't think for one minute other trainers aren't pissed off about what seems to be special treatment given to Rucker and the excuses they come up with for all his positives.

Now, this topic was posted to welcome back Hansen and Ryan Anderson after they served their time, so don't turn this topic into a Rucker issue.

hey hobbit, who cares why Hansen is back, and from what the word in the grandstands is the vet mccune gave the horse the medicine five days out, due to having the hives and unable to breath due to swelling of the upper body, So that's why the girlfriend was given thirty days because its called trainer responsibility, unlike other cases i have read on here, (Rucker) contamination still its trainer responsibility from what i have heard.

I guess you must be Ruckers wife if you know so much about his personal business. Maybe you are his wife that's why you call yourself Ruckerfan.

One thing I do know for sure is that you haven't forgot more then I ever knew about training or the in and outs of this business. The only one that can't compete is you. Go ask Homer and Connie how they liked it in 1998 when I claimed " Clark Gable " from them for $8000 and went on to make $55,000 racing him for 8 months in $25,000 claimers before I sold him at Harrisburg for 23K. Then go back and look up when I claimed " Broadway Baby " for 20k in 1998 and I went on to win $50k with her during the next 6 months never racing her in a claimer again with a win on " Super Night ". Then go look up " Rabbit Attack " when I claimed him in 1998 for $8000 and won 30k with him in 5 months racing him in 30k claimers. Then go back and look at the fact I put new lifetime marks on all of them including " Flip Flop N Fly " that year. Yes, my friend that was my last year I trained before I decided to retire from training. I went out after having a pretty damn good year in 1998 not because I couldn't compete anymore. I'll train rings around you or anyone else for that matter if I choose to do so. So, kiss off Ruckerfan because you're not even in the same league as me and never could be.

I'm so ashamed, I'll bet I won't post on BTW for a couple of weeks, until this terrible controversy is forgotten.

As promised, it has been more than two weeks since my last contribution to this outstanding forum.

Having served my suspension in exile, and having just slipped past immigration authorities in my return (there is some truth to this...I'm not totally joking ), I am once again prepared to fight the good fight!
